Food goes into the stomach where it is broken down by acid and enzymes into more manageable bits. Then it passes to the small intestine. It is pretty watery now so it can move easily. The small intestine (small bowel), includes the duodenum (say joo-o-deen-um), the jejunum (say jay-joo-num) and the ileum (say ill-ee-um). Inside the small intestine food continues to break down so all the nutrients which the body needs can be absorbed. Enzymes from the pancreas help break down the food. The lining of the small intestine is not a straight slippery surface but is wavy so that there is a lot more surface on the inside than on the outside.
